Striking Employees Threaten Public Security

Sometimes organized labor bosses just go too far. Case in point, “An outage due to stolen electronic equipment in Cedar Grove, N.J., affecting a local police department, among other customers”:

“These acts of sabotage are reprehensible,” said Verizon Chief Security Officer Mike Mason. “In addition to inconveniencing our customers, these deliberate disruptions of our network have affected hospitals, paramedics, fire fighters, law enforcement and other first responders. Verizon is working closely with local authorities to investigate these sabotage incidents, and identify and prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. And we will not hesitate to terminate any employee who may be involved in these acts.
